particular region could perform better than the statewide average. Therefore, a low rank does not necessarily
indicate a "low quality" facility. Similarly, all of the nursing homes in a particular region could perform lower

certification inspection deficiency data. Inspection deficiency reports display the violations of the regulation that are found during
an inspection of the nursing home. If a nursing home is operating under bankruptcy
protection or meets the criteria for a conditional status during the past
30 months, the facility is on the Watch List.
